How do you guys go about getting the frame into such immaculate condition after they've been pretty badly worn over the years? Do you just get it resprayed by a really good spray shop who try and match as best as possible by what paint is still on the frame? What about the stickers? Surely some of the rarer bikes it is impossible to get authentic stickers again, if you do respray?

Re: Re:

I think we all have our tricks.

For the really far gone ones most are repainting or powdercoating.
